Chapter 21 Epic Suihua, Ju Douluo
"Epic-tier, huh?"
Xiao Ze was a little surprised by Sui Hua's quality.
Can a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone only reach Epic-tier?
Then the Legendary and Mythic tiers after that must be even more difficult.
Xiao Ze found that the Excellent and Fine grades were relatively easy to improve.
But Epic-tier and beyond became much, much harder, requiring more resources.
Because Epic-tier marked a significant improvement; each upgrade brought new things, and the crop effects were also excellent.
Currently, Sui Hua possesses four skills and one Domain.
This Domain is one of Sui Hua's Epic-tier enhancements.
Domain: Thousand-Layered Grain Waves.
This Domain has three main effects.
Effect 1: The ground within the Domain transforms into a liquid rice paddy, causing enemies to enter a "muddy feet" state (movement speed reduced by 40%) when moving.
Effect 2: Allies gain the "Bountiful Harvest" mark: Attacks come with a "barb" effect (15% armor penetration), have a chance to trigger "rice husk protection" (negates 30% damage) when injured, and skill casting speed is increased by 20%.
Effect 3: Grains of rice falling from the sky will ripen and burst, causing area damage. 10% of the final damage will be converted into a permanent shield distributed to allies within the Domain.
The effects of this Domain are highly supportive.
Sui Hua is a support-type Agricultural Sprite.
It has deceleration, healing, shields, armor penetration, and more.
It can be considered a relatively versatile support.
As for Sui Hua's combat power, it's not strong but not weak either; it's more than enough to defeat a Spirit Grandmaster now.
The advanced Sui Hua was very excited and immediately went to its three fields to pour its spirit power.
It let its spirit power permeate the farmland, allowing its crops to begin evolving.
Just as the rice ripened, Xiao Ze saw all the original rice grains turn a beautiful, crystal-clear blue-gold.
These rice grains should be called Blue Silver Crystal Rice.
The effects, needless to say, were definitely several times better than the original rice.
Leaving Sui Hua to work.
Xiao Ze, with the Blue Silver Emperor, left the portal.
Principal Xiao saw him come out smiling with a Blue Silver Grass and was utterly confused.
"What is this child doing? Never mind, I'm old, I can't understand the thoughts of young children anymore."
Leaving the waterfall, Xiao Ze headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the Star Dou Great Forest was dangerous, it contained numerous Spirit Beasts, and he was sure to find the life-type Spirit Beast he needed.
Saint Spirit Village was quite far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and even with Xiao Ze riding a carriage, several days passed.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, there were many people.
They were mostly Spirit Masters who came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings.
And on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, there were many markets.
Some Spirit Masters earned gold coins by guiding others to acquire spirit rings.
Others sold the corpses of Spirit Beasts.
As for Spirit Bones, they were impossible to find here.
If there were any, they wouldn't be bought, but directly seized.
Spirit Bones were usually sent to auctions, and auctions had royal shares, making them much safer.
Xiao Ze directly entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Immediately, it was as if he had entered another World.
Countless trees blocked out the sky, their branches intertwined like a barrier, shielding the sunlight from above.
Only a few rays of sunlight could penetrate through the gaps in the leaves.
This made the light inside the Star Dou Great Forest very dim.
The air was also rather ordinary, mixed with the scent of Spirit Beasts and blood.
Clearly, the environment of the Star Dou Great Forest was not very good.
Xiao Ze walked towards the outer circle.
The Star Dou Great Forest was divided into five regions.
The borderland, the outer circle, the mixed circle, the core circle, and finally, the Lake of Life.
The borderland mostly contained hundred-year Spirit Beasts, though there were also some thousand-year Spirit Beasts, but they were few.
Most importantly, the borderland had the most Spirit Masters.
Within the Star Dou Great Forest, Spirit Beasts were not the most terrifying; the most terrifying were Spirit Masters.
The human heart is the most unpredictable.
In the original work, wasn't Meng Yiran's Spirit Beast stolen?
If Meng Yiran's grandparents hadn't been a Spirit Emperor and a Spirit Saint, perhaps she wouldn't even have had to duel Tang San; her Spirit Beast would have been snatched away.
So, I must be careful, extremely careful.
Looking around, there was no one, and Xiao Ze slowly arrived at the outer circle.
As soon as he reached the outer circle, Xiao Ze heard many Spirit Beast roars.
The outer circle had the most Spirit Beasts.
Mixed with hundred-year and thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
Xiao Ze searched for a long time but didn't find a suitable Spirit Beast.
He leaned against a giant tree.
Suddenly, the sound of a Spirit Master and a Spirit Beast fighting erupted not far away.
Xiao Ze went over curiously, but he remained very cautious, hiding behind a giant tree to watch.
He saw a charming woman fighting a thousand-year fox-type Spirit Beast.
The woman's long black hair cascaded down, and her face was beautiful and radiant. Her pair of alluring large eyes, with slightly upturned outer corners, seemed to smile yet not smile, giving off a captivating feeling.
Her nose bridge was high, her lips full, naturally red and luscious, tempting at every moment.
As for her figure, it was breathtakingly hot.
She wore a tight-fitting pink camisole on her upper body, the fabric thin and clinging to her skin, perfectly outlining her curves.
Rounded shoulders, delicate collarbones, full breasts.
Every part was so alluring.
Her lower body wore matching pink hot pants, revealing a large section of fair, jade-like thighs, without a trace of excess flesh.
Most importantly, she had a fox tail behind her.
"A fox tail, and this appearance, this temperament, could it be..."
Just as Xiao Ze was guessing, a hand suddenly rested on his back.
Startled!
Xiao Ze abruptly turned his head and saw a man with delicate skin and an enchanting appearance.
The moment he saw him, Xiao Ze fully understood.
The woman inside was Hu Liena, one of Spirit Hall's three fools.
"Boy, what are you doing here?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, pinching his orchid finger as he looked at Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze gave an awkward smile: "Your Excellency, I just heard the sound of a battle here, so I came to take a look."
"Your Excellency? You know me?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was slightly surprised.
"With such an enchanting appearance and noble temperament, I believe only His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall could possess it," Xiao Ze said, though his heart was already racing beneath his calm exterior.
This was a Titled Douluo; he could easily swat himself to death.
Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled twice: "Boy, you're interesting, and your spirit power isn't low. Would you like to join Spirit Hall?"
"Your Excellency, Spirit Hall is great. But I want to participate in the Soul Master Competition, and I can't even get a spot at Wuhun Academy," Xiao Ze said with a forced bitter smile.
"That's true, suit yourself," Chrysanthemum Douluo said casually; he just found Xiao Ze interesting.
"Then... is that your elder?" Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed behind a giant tree.
"Your Excellency," Principal Xiao walked out.
"Grandpa Xiao, why are you here?"
"I just couldn't stop worrying about you."
